[R-390] 390A---and a bedside radio

[Bob Young]

I Went back to school full time a few years ago, the little woman and I 
moved in with Ma and Dad, right into one bedroom with at least 15 
boatanchors,with two or three all set up. These are real boatanchors too , a 
few  SP-400's and 200's with separate power supples etc. My wife couldn't 
complain however as she buys as much "junk" as I do and it was also in the 
bedroom, it was difficult walking in the room even though it was a big 
bedroom. None of the radios were near enough to the bed to use however as I 
have a hard time going to bed as it is, they kind of call out to me if you 
know what I mean. I now have only a Bose Wave radio to wake me up in the 
morning in the bedroom.
We moved out and I have my own radio room now but the in-laws have been here 
for more than two months and yes you know where they are sleeping, so I have 
a radio set up in the living room. She keeps saying "This is only temporary 
right?" The antenna cables going down the hall from my room bother her more 
than the SP-600 that is sitting on top of a sturdy table with shelves (don't 
know what else to call it) with half of my tools in it. The R390-A will go 
next to it when it arrives until my inlaws go back to Peru on Oct 10, haha!
